NOISE/AVANTGARDE-PUNK. QUI's latest full-length, "snuh", extrapolates on their genre-bending brand of avantgarde rock. The duo has integrated more shades of unlikely forms and timbres along with their always-present penchant for abrasive noise-punk. The record also features cameo performances from Justin Pearson (LOCUST, RETOX), Trevor Dunn (MR BUNGLE, MELVINS), Dale Crover (MELVINS), and Adam Harding (DUMB NUMBERS). Vinyl version includes a CD.

POST/INDIE-ROCK. QUICKSAND emerged from the New York City hardcore scene in the late-'80s and featured members of GORILLA BISCUITS, YOUTH OF TODAY, BOLD and BEYOND. The band split in 1995 after a 2nd album and members went on to form other bands such as HANDSOME and RIVAL SCHOOLS. "interiors" is the band's 1st studio album in 22 years and the anticipation is building. Vinyl includes a digital download card.

POST/INDIE-ROCK. First official vinyl reissue of QUICKSANDS's 2nd full-length, "manic compression". What more can be said about QUICKSAND that isn't already common knowledge? A post-hardcore aural assault upon the senses that won't soon be forgotten. Remastered and pressed yet again on limited edition, colored 180gr vinyl, housed in a gatefold-jacket.

POST/INDIE-ROCK. First official vinyl reissue of QUICKSANDS's major label debut, "slip", since its original pressing in 1993. In honor of the 20th anniversary of QUICKSAND's "slip", SRC has repressed the album on 180gr black vinyl, touched up the artwork and has included some upgrades on the print pieces. Includes custom, hand-wrapped (tip-on) gatefold-jackets available only with the 20th anniversary pressing. Includes a gold foil sticker and is hand numbered out of 1000 copies.

INDIE/EMO-ROCK. Almost since BEACH SLANG came into being, bandleader James Alex has taken to performing his group's heartfelt anthems as more intimate solo renditions. Appropriately dubbed "quiet slang", these alternate reality versions of BEACH SLANG's music have now simultaneously been stripped down and fleshed out in the studio to include piano and cello. The result is a collection of songs that peel away the layers of reverb and distortion to lay bare their starkly honest and emotional cores. Colored, thick 180gr vinyl includes a digital download card.

HARDCORE. RA finished their debut full-length, "collateral damage". These 10 songs have brutally honest lyrics that cover a wide range of topics and harsh truths with no holds barred. Musically, these songs are equally as punishing as R.A. puts an updated spin on heavy-hitting NYC-style hardcore. Colored vinyl includes a digital download card.

HARDCORE. "dragging the anchor" is a special 7” that lifts 2 tracks
from RA's [RUDE AWAKENING] menacing full-length debut, "collateral damage" and also includes a cover by WRECKING CREW. Vinyl includes a digital download card. * BLACK FRIDAY 2014 *

HARDCORE-PUNK. After 37 years perhaps Sacramento California’s 1st hardcore band, the R.C. BOYS, are releasing their 1st record! Recorded on their home turf, Sacramento’s suburb of Rancho Cordova, on a portable tape recorder that they just happened to bring along one night, this tape went undiscovered for over 30+ years. For fans of early punk/hardcore in America. Sacramento Records tried their best to preserve the authentic distressed early hardcore aesthetic by printing the cover and inserts on an old analog copy machine. Three songs pressed on green vinyl with a limited run of 300 records.

POST-PUNK/NEW-WAVE. Child prodigy Buz Clatworthy's latest and greatest project! Features some very tight riffs and some of the catchiest song writing we've heard in a while. Totally punk and totally weird at the same time. DEVO is an obvious band familiar, but there’ve been many bands since those Ohio freaks exploded the scene whose sounds ooze out of these electronic punk spasms made by R.M.F.C (GERTY FARISH, JAY REATARD, PARASITES OF THE WESTERN WORLD, and THE GIRLS and (NEW ENGLAND) PATRIOTS etc.). R.M.F.C are making some really interesting punk in 2019. It keeps you guessing, and the band is tight as hell. Perhaps one of the the most sonically interesting bands currently creating noise for the plebs of our prison planet, all 11 tracks of this platter are essential.

CRUST-HARDCORE. RABID RABBIT releases 5 new blazing tracks. Raging some of there most hardcore songs thus far. Vocals sound like seals being murdered. This Minneapolis crust band has political beliefs and a squatter punk lifestyle and bring it to this record. GRISWALD shreds out 3 amazing crust-punk anthems. BROTHERS INFERIOR meets DISRUPT. Limited edition of 300 copies on 100% recycled color vinyl.

HARDCORE/METAL. RACETRAITOR’s reunion, with intentions to lambaste white nationalism amplified by Trumpian demagoguery, came with real promise. At its core, RACETRAITOR’s "2042" is a potent piece of resistance in a time where every ounce of resistance is needed. It’s hard to ignore the message when it’s being declared so violently right in your face. Without this kind of aggression, the messages that RACETRAITOR get across could falter or stutter along the way, but no. They’re pissed off with good purpose, tackling xenophobia head-on with ruthless, nostalgic metal music. "2042" is a Molotov cocktail of sociopolitical punk/hardcore soaked in extreme metal influence and anti-fascist kerosene.

HARDCORE/METAL. "burn the idol of the white messiah" was the 1st and only full-length from RACETRAITOR, who were one of the '90s most political and powerful bands. Coming from Chicago, packed with a metallic sound that bordered on grind and power-violence, they had members go on to FALL OUT BOY and others.
